An Evening to honor the life and legacy of our friend, Mike
Mike Russano was the unofficial Mayor of Northport circa 1999-2007. He was the most honorable, well rounded, and universally respected individual most of us have ever met. While Mike’s life was tragically cut short in May 2021, his loved ones would like his good name to live on by awarding an annual scholarship to one graduating Northport High student that personifies Mike the most by treating others with the utmost respect and dignity.

About Mike's Scholarship

The Mike Russano Scholarship Fund was created in 2023 to award $5000 on annual basis to a graduating Northport High Senior that personifies what Mike was all about. The previous winners of the scholarship are John Dwyer, Lillian Clements, and most recently Sienna McArdle.
Like Mike, all 3 of our recipients were highly accomplished students that were also able to balance athletics and philanthrophic initiatives in their spare time and are now attending various universities with the goal of making the world a better place.
We couldn't be more proud of our recipients so far and we're looking forward to hearing more about their successes in the future!
